Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/07/21. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/e16f455e219c61e4479fbf0468c47f5fe9ba48f3

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: disable end of packet padding for Rx

[ upstream commit b4938fad44912967636b96990ddba01ef6bc3064 ]

Testing has shown that the packet forwarding rate for packet sizes
that are not a multiple of the cache line size is reduced when the
DMA size is padded to a multiple of the cache line size. Improve
performance for these packet sizes by disabling EOP padding.

Fixes: f4253e97e7b0 ("net/bnxt: set padding flags in Rx descriptor")
